Red and Blue rooms: Our red and blue rooms welcome the intermediate stage of 16-30 months, working on a staff ratio of 1:3 for children under the age of 2 and 1:5 for those children over 2 to 3 years.

As babies begin to take their first steps and are eager to toddle and explore further, the Red Room offers space and a freedom to explore and gain confidence on foot, promoting their physical skills and satisfying their natural curiosity.

The room provides the opportunity to investigate different areas, including a book corner, sand and water areas, construction, home corner and sensory play as well as a dressing up area which enables children to mix and play imaginatively. As children move through to the Blue Room between the ages of 2-3, the room environment lends itself to more defined areas of curiosity for the children to engage and challenge their development further ready for their move into the pre-school, Green room.

Themed treasure baskets and story sacks encourage the children’s speech and language development, along with promoting interaction between their peers, learning basic turn taking and sharing skills whilst having lots of fun!
